1927-34 Cowley / 1935 Twelve-Four
Introduction
This model, as with the contemporary Oxford, featured a
new design chassis and suspension, with modified braking and
steering and was introduced as a basic variant to complement
the Oxford model. The "flatnose" Cowley enjoyed a long
production run, during which there were a number of changes
in specification and engine options. For the 1935 season,
the Cowley name was dropped and the model named as a
Twelve-Four, reflecting a change by Morris Motors to a naming
convention based on engine horsepower rating and cylinders.
